SB 683 Tick control; Sunday hunting of deer and permits for application of acaricides in Loudoun County.
Introduced by: Richard H. Black | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Tick control; Sunday hunting of deer and permits for application of acaricides. Authorizes Sunday hunting of deer within the boundaries of any locality upon a finding by the governing body of that locality that tick-borne Lyme disease constitutes a serious threat to public health within the locality and that reduction in the number of deer in the locality is necessary to control the spread of Lyme disease, certification by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries that there is an overabundance of deer in the locality, and enactment of an ordinance authorizing hunting of deer on Sundays by the governing body of such locality. This bill also directs the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries to develop a pilot program for the issuance of permits for the application of host-specific acaricides to deer via four-poster devices for the purpose of controlling the tick population and reducing the spread of tick-borne Lyme disease in Loudoun County.
